Life Experience Poems

Learn To Let Go

You cannot make work everything as per your plans
As there is already a roadmap 

You cannot fix all the misunderstandings
As there is already a home built for trust issues

Don't put efforts to make undesired connections 
As connections are not for long lasting 

Follow mindfulness 
As karma is real which hits in its way

Make a habit

Apologies

Apologies



If I say I'm sorry

I will get my way

Your thinking to sway



Apology to look good

Narcissism under the hood

For me everyone will root



Apology to provoke guilt

Creates self-doubt to the hilt

Blame to you will shift



Apologies made from half truth

My own feelings to soothe

Everyone thinks I stand on truth



Apologies to put it in the past

Knowing fake peace won't

Life Experience Is Education For Us

Life experience always educate us
Don't trust anyone's words easily
Always believe in consistent actions
Not impressed with its faking.

Life there's no wrong answer
Just believe in your choices
The most accurate one is right
Do what you like for happiness.

Not The First Time

Not the First Time
By Cathrin Stuart
 
Late at night, you came home drunk
Not the first time
I heard you and Mommy talking
Not the first time
You came and pulled me out of bed by the hair
Not the first time
You beat me in the passage until I bled
Not the first time
I was not allowed to cry, mop up

HOW CAN I PRETEND: PART 4

HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 4

Innocence, zest, curiosity 
remain intact protected   
crimson hymns I earned
when Divinity composed 
a skin of cheetah brown 
amused at a white chin 
where my masculine’s 
fuzzy beard ought to be
HE raucously laughed 
aloud at my horrored 
‘Don’t You Dare !
O Great One !’

Then asked ‘What will you

HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 3

Pretence lies coffined 
as Spring makes a call
early chincherinchees 
kissing late winter’s wind
knowing empty cupboards 
will be filled once more 
perceptions of another
timeline where artful
wiles and emotionless 
inserts receive no nods 
of approval 

My Love stands oaked 
in cerebral signature 
unashamedly chiffon
unmoved before 
North-South, East-West
Buddha and Serapis in a

HOW CAN I PRETEND : PART 1

HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 1

How can I pretend when 
flutters across my chest only 
prickle as your thought 
arrives with doubt or hope 
What is hope anyway ?
A flimsy wish built upon 
a matrix I no longer 
attune to as Mantis 
explores my device

How can I pretend when  
staring at a mouldy

The Alchemy of Truth Includes the Lens

The alchemy of truth
may be from a particular perspective

or colored by youth
and sprinkled with objective

For your truth can hold your own view
your lens through which you see the world

And naivety can lead astray 
and reality fall subject to that doom

And you may not have the ability yet
to completely read the room

When you don't have wisdom

Down To the Bone

("To the Bone", 2018, original encaustic)

Down to the Bone

Over and over 
Up and down 
Back-and-forth 
Around and ‘round 
It’s always learning the same lesson.
 
Learning it again 
And again.

Like a species, 
An individual 
With amnesia 
We cycle around 
Experiencing
To rediscover 
Yet again
What we’ve always known 
Not in a rut, but
In a spiral. 

And each time

To Get Life Experience

Life experience,
Cannot be obtained without experiencing life,
And one cannot experience life,
Without at least one mentor welcomed into your life,
And seeing others who have a life,
That makes your life seem a great life.

The first step in gaining life experience,
Is to stop seeing yourself as a victim of life,
Which takes belief that will be tested for life,
And

Life Experience

I used to fear that some would find me strange.
Yet I'm seeing life harsher than I thought.
Thus I shape a wandering mountain range.
I used to fear that some would find me strange
My hunch tells me it's time to make a change.
It's simpler than what I aimed or I've wrought
I used to fear that some would

Still, We Look Up

We have toiled, 
we have laboured. 
we have launched into the deep,
we wearied ourselves in tempest. 
endangering our lives for filths, 
Our summer too short for relief, 
and the winter too long with pains, 
we bore the shame, the jeers and mockery. 
we met with stiff opposition, 
foes within and more without, 
the deadliest daggers

Occupied

Time never wasted
                              Envious of you sitting in this basement
                

Sands of Time

I started life as a grain of sand,
But knew I’d find a way to expand,
And always being a bit of a rebel,
I joined with others and became a pebble,
And as I grew and then took stock,
I realised that I had become a rock,
And as I become more confident and grow older,
I wonder if I’ll become

Have I-Book 4

~Have I~

Have I done the best of all that I could
Have I lived my life the way I should
Have I said the things I couldn’t say
Have I made the best of each new day

Have I been strong when I felt fear
Have I heard things that I need to hear
Have I kept a smile when skies
